  1. #MissKittyPolitics If your #human #rights are met, and TOTALLY met as in the #UDHR, then my expectation is that most people's wants after that are not over the top. Private land #ownership ruins the ability to properly design resources and the use thereof. It is a debacle. #System design failure.🔦🔦🔦

  2. "We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

  3. Engadget: PlayStation just struck a hammer blow to game preservation. “So, that’s it then. As of 2028, game discs will be a thing of the past for PlayStation. And after previously attempting to do so five years ago — before a backlash prompted it to reverse course — Sony is finally shuttering the digital storefronts on PS3 and PlayStation Vita. It doesn’t seem like the company will back […]

  4. We do own our Digital Library

    All you need to do is make sure that you also have an unencumbered copy of the items in your digital library.

    Then you transform it to physical media on Blu-ray & your ZFS backup.

  5. Make the Decision Right: A 1987 Aphorism Against the Age of the Open Tab

    An old professor of mine, holding forth in 1987, handed his students one sentence to carry out the door: don't make the right decision; make the decision right. He attached a coda that landed harder than the maxim itself. Regret, he told us, is mindless. I have been turning that sentence over for nearly four decades, and the turning has become its own education, because the sentence makes a metaphysical bet most listeners never notice they are taking. It claims that rightness arrives after the choosing, manufactured through labor and revision, and that no quantity of advance analysis can locate it beforehand, since the future refuses to sit still long enough to be computed. With one stroke the professor moved the entire moral weight of decision-making off the moment of selection and onto the years of execution. Pick a door, any door, then build a house behind it. […]

  6. A quotation from The Bible

    The faithful all lived together and owned everything in common; they sold their goods and possessions and shared out the proceeds among themselves according to what each one needed.
     
    [πάντες δὲ οἱ πιστεύοντες ἦσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ εἶχον ἅπαντα κοινὰ καὶ τὰ κτήματα καὶ τὰς ὑπάρξεις ἐπίπρασκον καὶ διεμέριζον αὐτὰ πᾶσιν καθότι ἄν τις χρείαν εἶχεν·]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    Acts 2:44-45 [JB (1966)]

  8. "@historickomodo submission: “Salvador Allende didn’t die for this shit.”

    For newbies playing along at home, this #meme circulates all over the place on #liberal pages, and it’s filled with #contradictory pieces of #ideology. Firstly, one can’t really be a #capitalist and a #socialist at the same time – if you support capitalist #ownership over the means of #production, then you support capitalism; if you support #democratic ownership over the means of production, where people have a say in the #institutions and #activities they contribute to, then you support socialism. I don’t know how to make it more succinct than that. Also, #communism is the post-scarcity natural conclusion of socialism, a #stateless/ #moneyless/ #classless #society where #socially-operated #property is held in common and #people “contribute according to their #abilities and receive according to their #needs”; #statelessness is a #fundamental aspect of the ideology, ergo a #totalitarian #government “forcing everybody to be exactly equal” is not communism. 

    Secondly, channeling government power to curb capitalism’s self-destructive excesses is merely Keynesian #welfare capitalism or Scandinavian social democracy, both of which try to use the state to mitigate structural tension within the parameters of the system (and all-too-often to wither away class consciousness and pushes for actual socialist change). 

    Thirdly and lastly, “the #economy and society being run democratically to meet #human needs rather than #profit for a #greedy few” is literally socialism. Capitalism by definition will always have a tiny class of owners pulling the #economic and #political strings; as long as they own the means of production and accrue profit off the backs of the #laboring class, they will always, always have disproportionate power in society. Such is the #nature of class relations – throughout history, laboring classes have produced the things society needs while ruling classes have sat and accrued the most #wealth. If labor produces all, why not have a society democratically run by #laborers?"

  9. This is FANTASTIC.

    I'm a deep believer in creating small, self-sufficient and sustaining communities, especially where #food is concerned.
    (Small is Beautiful by E F Schumacher is a #MustRead #book

    This leadership from #NewYorkCity is something to be admired.

    Giving the local #community more #ownership and #sovereignty over the means of #production has so many fabulous benefits:
    - Benefits #ClimateAction / #ClimateChange by reducing #FoodMiles
    - Benefits local #people by reconnecting them with the food on their plates
    - Supports the #Local #Economy by keeping wealth & spending in the local area for the benefit of local #business

    #Bristol (where I live now) is a city of #UrbanFarms and #allotments. It's staggering, actually, how much production capacity there is here. And I'm proud of it.

    However, we must also be attentive to the #equality and #equity issues. #LocalSourcing can come with a price premium (local carrots here can cost 4x supermarket versions from the other side of #Europe).
    Local production must come with local affordability too. That's a redline for me...

    Finally, this level of #system change must be, surely, a great example of #SocialMarketing / #SocMar in action!

    Hey @BrentToderian - did you see this?

  10. With the recent excelerating trends evidencing people leaving the deprecated, legacy silos, and increased awareness surrounding the protection of their #privacy, #ownership of their personal data, along with their inability to enjoy unfettered speech and expression; several existing and emerging technologies that actually respect those universal expectations have been rising to prominence and experiencing a massive influx of users.

    I've been somewhat inundated as of late with inquiries from various sectors for suggestions about where people can turn to enjoy the freedoms and privacy that places like #Twatter, #InstaSPAM, and #Faceplant are forcing them to become aware of.

    Although I can't promise to respond to every inquiry, I do try my very best to reply to most folks, time permitting, so do feel free to continue reaching out privately, as I endeavor to help everyone who strives to break those chains and re-platform to safer, and free (as in freedom) resources that continue to gain #critical_mass, as more people realize the futility of remaining captives to what has traditionally been observed as the "AOL Effect", commonly referred to in the contemporary environment as the, "Network Effect".

    Now, it seems that my recent showcasing related to both on demand and #live_streaming #video options has been a popular subject, so in order to reduce the amount of private inquiries I've determined that more users can be accommodated by posting about the plethora of mostly #FOSS based systems in the #DeSoc space, to varying degrees.

    Some of the following are generally considered #Fediverse platforms, like my previously posted treatment of #ownCast and #PeerTube, which leverage the power of #ActivityPub #federation, but there are also many #blockchain and #p2p solutions (and hybrids blending them) for people that you can simply freely enjoy as casual visitors or registered users that create personal accounts for themselves. Some are even really simple for the average non-technical user to deploy for themselves, without cost or requirements to set up servers.

    All of the following communities and #social_networks respect and preserve the rights of people where their privacy, speech and expression, and moreover, the ownership of their own data is concerned. Many are longtstanding options with huge communities where both viewers and #creators enjoy resources for #monetization, while a few are relatively new and ambitious efforts that are quickly growing with bright, promising futures.

    Feel free to address any questions or thoughts you have here, or if you prefer, DM me privately with your particular needs or if you're seeking advice of a more personal nature. Like I said, I do try to get back to everyone, even if it takes a little bit to do so.

    So without further ado, here's a link to a myriad of choices, and I'll post again soon with a more in depth coverage of PeerTube in these times where you can self-host your own #VoD and live #streaming platform where anyone can enjoy 20 TeraBytes of streaming data for as little as around only $5 per month.

    I hope that helps!

    Enjoy!
